Advocacy Letter: INTIMATE PARTNER VIOLENCE// MOHALE AND S MHLONGO

Matters related to gender-based violence in the form of physical assault have been publicly reported against Somizi Mhlongo. Based on these, it appears that incidences of physical and psychological abuse were prevalent and were commited with impunity by Somizi Mhlongo.

We implore IDOLS SA to act in a manner consistent with what is expected in the National Strategic Plan (NSP) on Gender Based Violence and Femicide (GBVF) and assume a strong posture against violence and the tone and message that conveys such to the millions of South Africans and your loyal viewers. IDOLS SA has a responsibility, for the common good of this country, to serve noticce on abusers by tangibly standing with victims and endorse calls for a South Africa free of intimate partner violence.
